Evidence: “ants who can’t even understand what the giant is talking about”
“it’s hard to find a man on the whole Southside who understands my kind of thinking”

Analysis/Conclusion: Walter continually talks down to his family about how they are holding him back from being successful. He believes he knows a lot about business and could be very successful if he could only get a break in the world.
